Are you kidding me?! Who the fuck does this guy think he is?!

Worldwide2 · 28/01/2024 11:56

Is this actually real? It's hard to believe someone would put up with this for years on end?

DustyLee123 · 28/01/2024 11:57

If this is real you need to leave.

Opentooffers · 28/01/2024 12:00

Sounds like you are very vulnerable and are being used and abused. What happens if you don't service his needs?
You should contact WA, and leave, there's more to this than sex, you are under control.

MadamVastra · 28/01/2024 12:06

Nothing changes unless something changes

so to put it bluntly: change it or put up with it

StopStartStop · 28/01/2024 12:12

Well.
You are in an abusive relationship. He demands you deliver sexual release for him, but does nothing for you. This is demeaning for you. It is soul-destroying. He knows that and he continues with his behaviour.

So.
Say nothing. Don't discuss anything with him. It's done.
No more hand or blow jobs. Let him sulk.
Get legal advice and divorce him. Don't be shy - say exactly why in the divorce papers.
Organise your life as a single person, and either throw him out or leave, whichever is most convenient.

Shiningout · 28/01/2024 12:13

Just to echo everyone else. This is very simple, stop bloody doing it! Say no! I can't quite believe you've gone along with this for years

sanferryanne · 28/01/2024 12:21

If this is real, you need to leave him. He doesn't love you, it sounds like he's gay, and he has ground you down so much that you can't even see it.

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/01/2024 12:22

Like others, I think he’s probably gay.

Then why are you doing anything at all?

Newchapterbeckons · 28/01/2024 12:46

Is this real? Why would anyone do this for years? Or at all?

Op I have never done this, I don’t like it. My dh enjoys intimacy in a way that meets my needs or not at all.

Stop right now and just sit back and carefully watch his reaction. Is he angry? Understanding? His reaction is irrelevant by the way, what matters here is that you see him for what he is in that moment. A disgusting entitled man absorbed with his own gratification.

IncompleteSenten · 28/01/2024 12:48

I'd stop doing it.

Do you want to stay in a sexless marriage? Some people are fine with it (me) but for others it's an absolute deal breaker.

You can't try to make him have sex if he doesn't want to - just as if he was trying to make you have sex you didn't want would be unacceptable but you can say this is not a marriage I want to stay in, I need intimacy.

Seaoftroubles · 28/01/2024 12:54

This can't be real surely? OP, If it is then can you say why you allow this?

Needanewnamebeingwatched · 28/01/2024 13:04

At the moment you are acting like a sex worker, he gets yet gives nothing.

Fuck that, divorce him

Vinrouge4 · 28/01/2024 13:18

You need to start practising the word No.

Newchapterbeckons · 28/01/2024 13:42

And gaining some autonomy around your own body urgently.

BluJanuary · 28/01/2024 13:46

Ew. Massive ick to have a partner like that! I would have said something a long time ago. No way should a man get away with that. Part of the fun is that they are having fun and getting pleasure too. Who wouldn't want to do that? Not someone who's is love. He doesn't love you.

RebeccaCloud9 · 28/01/2024 13:46

If he only wants those things, he should at the very least be doing the same to you and should be expert at these by now!

cordeliachaseatemyhandbag · 28/01/2024 13:49

I despair!

StBrides · 28/01/2024 13:50

Sex isn't just about sexual pleasure / orgasm, it's about intimacy, love, respect, care & wanting to demonstrate this to your partner.

On that basis, I don't hesitate to say kick him out by the end of the day and get a divorce. He doesn't love you, doesn't care about you, doesn't respect you.

Anjea · 28/01/2024 13:54

No

Practise saying it. You deserve more Flowers

Toooldforthis36 · 28/01/2024 14:13

Stop doing it.

Beauty65 · 28/01/2024 14:23

Do you think he’s gay op?

JFDIYOLO · 28/01/2024 14:26

He doesn't initiate anything, doesn't want any kind of physical contact with you other than the mechanicals and does nothing for your pleasure.

OK, that's bed.

What about the rest of your relationship?

Do you get on well otherwise, talk, laugh, share, travel, go out to dinner, see shows, socialise, do hobbies etc together? All the things people do in a relationship?

If yes, then that's all good.

It's just that the sex isn't.

There could be many reasons.

It could just be a lazy habit.

He could simply not like, want or enjoy sex at all.

He may as some have suggested be a closeted gay man, as happened to a friend of my mother's after children and grandchildren.

Only you know what you've done so far to deal with it.

But if being used as a sex aid is no longer acceptable, order him a catalogue and tell him as your relationship has been sexless for a long time, he can make a collection of items he can use any time and not make you feel like a gadget.

And if sex on your terms is important to you, and he will not change, it may be time to consider.

Do you want to remain in the relationship at all?

If yes and you have a happy life in all other aspects, do you need to seek that one piece of fulfilment outside your marriage?

Then as to how - a lover? Beware emotional mess.

A professional? Probably expensive.

A club of some sort? Personal health and safety are essential.

A lot of thinking to do.
